For 1: the section referencing sounds very reasonable. Actually this is what I had in mind. The keybinding thing & undo goes IMO in the right direction.
For 2: yes, optional replace/update instead of appending, so that the whole arrangement can be defined by Renoam. Thus it could be a real time saver for making quick re-Arrangements. At least much quicker than multiple copy&paste
Another idea:
maybe you could define some kind of meta-placeholder in the Renoise pattern list. E.g. something like a Regex placeholder: $1 $2. Or in other words: [Renoam Insertion Point 1] [Renoam insertion point 2]
Then one could define Renoam-Code which generates output and inserts or substitutes it at $1 or/and $2.
This could be usefull to use Renoam to just modify parts of the song. Renoam would be a tool for quick arranging of these parts without touching the rest.
Makes sense ?
* increased GUI size of buttons
* added filter in fx: type
* added SNAP (snaps selection and loop markers to beat)
* added CUT (enables/disables new note action to Cut or Continue)
when samples are played allows them not to overlap themselves on playback
* added BLOCKL (enables/disables pattern block loop) was in song screen before
* added quantize to Song Screen
* added timing 1/4 for lower resolution songs
* added CLEAR (clears all slices)
* added LOOP (using the sample loop start and end points changes the loop mode to forward)
* added DELAY (activates the MPEFX renoise multitap delay effect) (if sample is looping disable HOLD for effect tails)
* fixed fx: (effect type) updates when changed in song
* fixed multiple instances launching
* fixed some tooltips
* fixed fx type and control midi mapping
Since Renoise 2.7 and the introduction of the ability to draw envelopes across multiple patterns using the line tool I hardly use this anymore. I will probably not make any major changes to it unless someone has some compelling additions that Renoise does not offer already that might keep this plugin interesting.
I have a github repo of the original 2.6 compatible version. Can you check it out and maybe add a PR of your changes? I'll add the update. Your sendspace link is out of date... hope you still have the changes.
Sorry for the slow reply, but I have kind of abandoned this project a bit since with Renoise 2.7 and the introduction of the ability to draw envelopes across multiple patterns using the line tool I hardly use this anymore.
You can batch convert without prompts recursively in multiple directories RX2 files to WAV ACID format using SampleManager by audiofile engineering. It's awesome but only Mac. The demo seems uncrippled for this purpose and I've almost done my entire REX directory full in a few hours. Just thought I would share. Not sure if there's a Windows or Linux program like it but I'm just converting over network files sitting on my PC over smb share :)
Hah! You can do it with REAPER for free. Unlimited trial demo version even works. File | Batch ... Drag/drop your REX2 directories on and it recursively adds them in, and converts right to WAV. Doesn't look like it maintains the hitpoints like the ACIDized WAV stuff does in SampleManager, but REAPER is chugging along doing my entire root directory of REX files as we speak and 0 problems.
1. Seems to be a quite useful suggestion.
Right now, numbers (better: any string LUA can interpret as a number) are terminal symbols, which makes some things pretty easy. ;) As a consequence of your suggestion, I'd say terminal symbols are either numbers, or specially marked strings (e.g. with single quotes).
If it's a number, it's handled the old way, and if it's a string, it's considered a shortcut to the patterns of the section with that name. Any good? I think I will try this.
2. You mean not appending output, but replacing what had been generated before? Ok, will try to do this.
In v0.9 (to be released soon) there's an assignable keybinding to 'generate', so you can quickly generate and undo. Not really your suggestion, but a bit more convenient.
As requested here:

could you please update this one for 2.8 to optionally 'split Into Group'? Would be great, thanks.
Hey have overseen your reply. Sorry.

You got a GREAT IDEA here!!! LOVE IT! It will be featured on Printed Circuit!
Bless.

Going to take several hours, but it's doable :)

Nothing to be done about this then? How do other hosts implement the feature? is there a cost of licensing the rex2 library or something? :(
